    Summary

    Dean is a successful business owner with a chain of auto repair shops, but he has lived a life far lonlier than he would ever admit to anyone. More out of nostalgia than anything he decides to open up a shop in the state where he spent the first thireen years of his life, though those years brought more heartache than anything. In the early summer of 1989 John Winchester disappeared leaving his two young sons alone in a motel room. When he didn't return and Dean was unable to reach Bobby, he begins to panic. The money he has to keep renting the room is almost gone, and the food ran out days ago. He and Sam are slowly starting to starve and he's scared. A kind motel employee does what she thinks is best and calls the police. Dean and Sam end up in foster care, Sam going to stay with the Coopers, Dean going to stay with the Novaks. Miserable, alone, and feeling abandoned by his father, Dean pulls away, except he comes to feel a connection with one of the boys in the Novak family. As Dean struggles to come to terms with his sexuality and his feelings for Castiel, he also is desperate to go home. Plenty of adolescent angst and some adult angst too. This doesn't let me add enough detail, so read the notes for more...
